Prior to the experimental runs, the rig was subjected to inertization process which included evacuating the reactors with an oil vacuum pump and heating to 160 °C.
  • the rig was pressurized to 4 bar with nitrogen and the stirrers were operated with a stirring speed of about 300 rpm. Then, three minutes following the start of the pressurization, the gas outlet valves were opened to release the nitrogen to the exhaust. Two minutes after the gas release had started, the valves from the main exhaust pipe to the vacuum pump were opened to evacuate the rig. The rig was evacuated for 15 minutes. The gas outlet valves were then closed, and the rig was pressurized with nitrogen again. The pump-pressurize cycles were run for at least 30 hours. The rig was then evacuated in vacuum for a further 6 to 8 hours. During the last one hour, the autoclave reactors were cooled down to 45 °C. The rig was then pressurized to 3 bar until the reaction was started.
  • Chargers were prepared, which included the components of the catalyst mixtures.
  • two stock solutions were prepared in a glove box. Heptane was utilized as a solvent, and an amount of heptane was utilized, such that the autoclave reactors were nominally filled.
  • the first solution contained the TEAL co-catalyst mixed with 90% of the heptane.
  • the second solution contained the titanium tetrabutoxide catalyst, the THF, and the antifouling agents mixed with 10% of the heptane.
  • the first solution and the second solution were put into first solution chargers and second solution chargers, respectively.
  • the pressure in the rig was released to about 0.2 bar.
  • the chargers with the second solution of TEAL/heptane were injected into the reactors.
  • the charging was achieved by pressurizing the chargers with ethylene to 10 bar and opening the valve between the charger and the reactor.
  • the contents of the second solution charger were then injected, using ethene as the charging gas with a pressure of 35 bar.
  • the target pressure for the reactors was set to 23 bar.
  • the gas dosage into the reactor was started automatically.
  • the temperature in the reactor rose and the temperature was set to the target value of 53.5 °C. After the start of the ethene dosage, the reaction was run for 75 min.
  • the reaction was terminated by the injection of 1 mL of ethanol.
  • the pressure was released from the reactors, and the temperature was set to 20 °C.
  • the reactors were opened and the contents of the reactor, including the baffles and stirrers, were removed and placed in a heating oven at 75 °C for one hour.
  • the residue in the reactor was then washed with a 10 wt.% aqueous sulfuric acid solution to dissolve any catalyst residues.
  • the remaining solid polymer was filtered and dried overnight in an oven at 110°C and weighed. Table 1 shows the dimerization activity and weight of polymer deposit for reactions which utilized each of the sample catalyst systems.
  • Example #14 is an example according to the present invention, and Examples #1 - #13 are reference examples.
